Comparison Principle
With display conversion, comparison is performed with the data contained in the file, and the display
contents is changed to the registered text strings for characters that match. Matching processing is
performed in order starting from the beginning of the file. Once a match is found, no further comparisons are made, i.e., matching processing is affected by the entry order. Therefore, when comparing
complicated patterns, make sure that the optimum order is used.

2 characters of ASCII. The ASCII characters correspond to the following characters.
Examples:
• When the read data is A, 41 is output.
• When the data read is T, 54 is output.

FCS Calculation Method
■ FCS Calculation Method
The FCS (Frame Check Sequence) is the result of taking the XOR for each byte
between the header and footer (8 bits) and converting it to 2 characters of ASCII. The
FCS can be attached to output data to improve the reliability of communications.
Each time data is received, the host calculates the FCS and checks it against the FCS
attached to the sent data so that the send data can be checked for errors.
■ Calculation Example for Sending FCS
Sample read data: ABCDEFG

Data Capacity Tables
The maximum quantity of information that can be stored depends on the symbol size of the
code. Also the maximum data capacity in relation to the amount of information carried by the
code depends on the character type and the arrangement and combination of characters. The
relation between the symbol size (number of cells) and data capacity is shown in the following
table.

Even with the same 2D code, the maximum quantity of information that can be stored depends on
the symbol size of the code. In other words, the symbol size must be increased to increase the data
capacity. The data capacity also depends on the type of characters used for the information contained in the code. With QR and DataMatrix Code, the maximum number of characters for the same
symbol size will be greatest for numbers only and then for alphanumerics, and will be the least with
2-byte characters. The data capacity also depends on the character type, and the order and combination of characters used.
